ErikW Posted June 16, 2005 Share Posted June 16, 2005 I was going to post a hate rant about the price of prescription medication, but instead I'll ask a question. What's the story with filling a U.S. Rx via Canada (or Mexico, or Upper Bufu, I don't care)? Can anybody recommend a good source? $294 yesterday for a month's supply of two drugs. Pre-existing condition exclusions on health insurance are a bjtch. Hey maybe I'll just stock up while I'm in Cancun. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Clay1 Posted June 16, 2005 Share Posted June 16, 2005 Now that would eat into the monthly ammo budget. Can't blame you for seeking out alternatives. Not to rub salt into the wound but it really makes me appreciate the $5 copay on perscription drugs that I have. Anyhow, good luck on the search for a more cost effective source.

Mistral404 Posted June 16, 2005 Share Posted June 16, 2005 The Health Insurance Portability and Accountability Act (HIPAA) pretty much banned pre-existing condition clauses. You can check the CMS website or call them with the question. They may take away but they have alwasys returned my calls-and I am a nobody. Since you are paying out of pocket and not using federal money you should not have too much of a problme. I believe the state of Michigan was going to purchase drugs through Canada but the Feds got pissed off. --the federal supply about 70% of the medicaid monies. You might also reseach what the Unions are doing in the rust belt and as a final suggestion-go to AARP as a resouce guide. Those seniors really know how to work and by pass systems.
